IP Routing Features

Configuring RIP

Syntax: restrict <ip-addr> <ip-mask> <ip-addr/<prefix length>

This command prevents any routes with a destination address that is included in the range specified by the address/mask pair from being redistributed by RIP.

 

Modify Default Metric for Redistribution

 

The default metric is a global parameter that specifies the cost applied to all

 

RIP routes by default. The default value is 1. You can assign a cost from 1 – 15.

 

Example: To assign a default metric of 4 to all routes imported into RIP, enter

 

the following commands:

 

HPswitch(config)# router rip

 

HPswitch(rip)# default-metric 4

 

Syntax: default-metric <value>

 

The <value> can be from 1 – 15. The default is 1.

 

Enable RIP Route Redistribution

 

 

N o t e

Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution

 

filters. Otherwise, the network might get overloaded with routes that you did

 

not intend to redistribute.

 

To enable redistribution of connected and static IP routes into RIP, enter the

 

 

following commands.

 

HPswitch(config)# router rip

 

HPswitch(rip)# redistribute connected

 

HPswitch(rip)# redistribute static

 

HPswitch(rip)# write memory

 

Syntax: [no] redistribute connected static
